I'm Voting for...

My wife and I came up with this bumper sticker idea, combining our two ideal candidates for the upcoming US elections. It's just a bit of fun, really, but I get a real kick out of imagining what a Conan/Swamp Thing administration would be like. I figure national security wouldn't be a problem (who'd wanna mess with an axe wielding barbarian?) and environmental issues would definitely take center stage. Hell, even the current financial mess in the US would probably benefit -- you could imagine President Conan meeting with Wall Street heads and scowling, "Crom! You're all thieves! You should all be strung up by your fat necks!".

If you like these candidates, I suggest you download the image and print it up on your own sticker paper to paste on a car nearest you. It beats supporting the Nader/Thulsa Doom ticket!

Special thanks to my wife, Claudia, for her great type treatment on this one.

Now in all seriousness, I won't insult your intelligence by asking you not to write these fictional characters in on your ballot. I will suggest though, that if you don't want another 4 years of divisive politics, pointless wars or hateful muslim-bating and fear mongering -- then go out and vote for Obama/Biden on November 4th.

I think you've got the wrong interpretation of "running mate" there. Tarzan's running mate for the election is Doc Savage. Scuttlebutt is that the Phantom is REALLY pissed about that, but if he is, I have to admit that he's being a real class act about it.

I can live with either ticket, really, but I'm waiting for Dick Tracy's endorsement before I make my final decision.

Please note that I do not do accept any private commissions (comic character sketches, family portraits, etc). I also do not sell any prints of my work online. Sketches and prints can usually be purchased at events that I am personally attending. Thanks for your understanding.

Upcoming Appearances

Wizard World, New Orleans, Jan 9-11th, New Orleans
I'll be making an appearance down south in New Orleans for the Wizard World convention, signing books and selling prints and sketches.

More events are planned for 2015. I'll post details here when things are confirmed.
